Just playing around with Plastidip, nothing exciting. I don't want to do any permanent mods in case I want to sell it in the near future. I think the wheels added the most appeal. I have a nice scuff mark on the right front that needs attention so I am still working on a long term visual solution. Stay tuned!

I'm in the middle of nowhere and shops are afraid to touch my car. I have to drive 2 hours to a place just to get my clutch installed...

Went for a quick drive to test out the new shoes. Everything is good. No vibration at highway speeds, and relatively quiet. Still working on removing the mould release from the PSS's.

Topped up with gas for the trip to the big city tomorrow, now I have a full tank that I need to burn through by the 26th at midnight. (Last day of insurance, need empty tank for the fuel pump install)

This afternoon I'm changing the wheels back to stock so I don't have to worry about them tomorrow when the car is getting worked on.

Oh, I took a couple more pictures with the new shoes. I promise next year the car body panels will all be the same colour.

Finally installed my Invidia Gemini exhaust. I got it a week ago but I've been nursing a dislocated shoulder.

First look at Thunderhill Raceway in a 370Z - YouTube
Man.... looks like an awesome track!!! good mix of elevation and chicane...

Love they have good run-off area too!!!


Side note....:
